Coconut-Banana Pancakes! {Primal, Low-Glycemic, Paleo}

Wow! Yesterday’s post created an all-time record of traffic to the website. Though I’m sure its readership did decrease a bit, I acknowledge and respect every person’s opinion and believe that a stronger, more inspired following will result from releasing dietary dogma and sharing holistic health and natural nutrition principles in its wake.

I don’t think you’ll have one problem loving these.

A benefit of having a protein and healthy fat-rich breakfast, I’m finding, is that it truly does keep you fuller for much longer. And this ‘pancake’ recipe is no exception.

Coconut – the main star of this recipe – is also just a freaking wonderful food. It boasts many benefits:
